The new NJ. Il. Church, South, near
Squire Anderson's on Buffalo will be
dedicated on tho 9th Sunday in July.
The dedicatory sermon will be preach
ed by Rev. D. Sullns, of Cleveland
A large crowd is desired and it is hop
ed the people Of Johnson City will at
tend in large numbers. 1t is only 51a
miles to the church and those who
have heard DR.. Sulins would go
even further than that to hear him

9th Sunday in July.
We regret 20 chronicle the death of
little Robert, the son of DR.. and Mrs
, S. H. Toy, which occurred at Elk
Park, n. c. on last Monday night He
had been sick for some time and was
taken to Elk Park the Friday before
in the hope that the change would be
beneficial. The remains were brought
to Johnson City Tuesday afternoon
, and inferred in the city cemetery.
! The parents have the sympathy of
: many friends in their bereavement.
The sermon OF Rev. Dr.. ]. 7. Kin
cannon, Sunday before last, on the
e subject of prohibition, was one of the
s best that has been preached on that
}. much discussed question. Without
e abusing OF giving offense to any one,
he made II terrible arraignment OF the
o liquor traffic. As a logical and con
j. servative appeal to the consciences
!, and better natures Of men it was I'M
surpassed, and no man who believes
in the Christian, religion, and who
heard that sermon, went away with
out being convinced as to what is his
II duty as man and citizen.
